📸 “Before the Big Day: How Bridal Portraits Can Change Your Wedding Dress Timeline”

Let’s break it down, y’all:

1. Your dress takes time to arrive.
   Most designer gowns take 6-8 months to come in once you order. Some even longer if you’re going custom or adding special details.
2. Alterations are next.
   You’ll need 8-12 weeks for fittings and adjustments so your gown fits like a dream.
3. Bridal portraits happen before your wedding.
   Your photographer will usually schedule your portraits 1-3 months before your wedding day, so you have plenty of time to get prints made (and show them off at your reception).

Scheduling your portraits early isn’t just practical; it’s a total confidence boost!

We are beyond thrilled to announce that world-renowned bridal designer and television star Randy Fenoli will be joining us in-store on October 18–19 for an exclusive designer event! Brides-to-be will have the incredible opportunity to meet Randy himself, explore his newest collection, and find the gown of their dreams with the guidance of one of the most celebrated names in bridal fashion. Known for his expertise, charm, and unmatched eye for style, Randy has inspired millions of brides through his hit show Say Yes to the Dress. Now, he’s bringing that magic directly to our shop!

This special two-day event is a once-in-a-lifetime experience for brides who want not only a beautiful gown but also unforgettable memories while finding it. Brides who schedule an appointment during Randy’s visit will enjoy personalized styling advice, first access to his latest designs, and the chance to say “yes” to their dream dress with Randy cheering them on. Availability is limited, so we encourage you to book your appointment early to secure your spot.

As we welcome Randy, it’s also the perfect moment to highlight some of the hottest bridal trends brides can look forward to this fall. One of the standout trends is detachable pieces—from overskirts and sleeves to capes and toppers. These versatile additions allow brides to create two stunning looks in one, transitioning seamlessly from ceremony elegance to reception fun. It’s all about personalization and giving brides options to showcase different sides of their style throughout the day.

Another major trend this season is romantic texture. Think bold floral appliqués, 3D lace, and layered tulle that create movement and depth. These details give gowns a couture feel while still embracing that soft, timeless bridal look. Paired with chic accessories, textured gowns feel modern yet utterly romantic, perfect for fall weddings that lean into cozy elegance.

We’re also seeing a shift towards bold sleeves, dramatic necklines, and unexpected color this season. From billowing bishop sleeves to sleek off-the-shoulder cuts, the sleeve trend shows no signs of slowing down. Meanwhile, deep-V necklines and square cuts are making a statement, offering a balance of sophistication and edge. These features add confidence and individuality to each gown, allowing brides to stand out in their own way. Speaking of standing out…subtle champagne undertones, blush hues, and soft latte shades are also appearing in collections, giving gowns a unique twist without straying too far from tradition. Paired with autumnal floral arrangements and golden-hour photography, these tones create a stunning seasonal harmony.

With Randy Fenoli in our boutique and the season’s most exciting trends arriving daily, there has never been a better time to find the dress of your dreams. Whether you’re dreaming of timeless romance, modern elegance, or something entirely your own, this event is your chance to step into a gown that feels like it was made just for you!

When it comes to wedding dresses, silhouette is everything. It shapes your entire look, sets the tone for your day, and most importantly, it’s what makes you feel like a bride. Two of the most popular styles we carry at Coreena’s Bridal are A-line and fit and flare. And while they may look similar on the hanger, they create totally different vibes once you slip them on. Here’s how to tell which one is the perfect match for you so you can say “yes” with confidence at your very first appointment.

✨ The A-Line: Effortless and Universally Flattering

The Look:

Fitted through the bodice, then flows out softly from the waist, like the shape of the letter “A.” Think graceful, romantic, and timeless.

Why Brides Love It:

• Flatters every body type
• Offers structure on top with soft movement below
• Comfortable to wear and dance in
• Works with just about any venue or theme

Best For Brides Who:

Want a classic bridal feel with easy movement and dreamy romance. A-line is elegant without being over the top, perfect for that soft, radiant bride glow.

Coreena’s Tip:

Even if you think you want something fitted, don’t skip the A-lines. This silhouette surprises a lot of brides in the best way.

🔥 The Fit and Flare: Sculpted and Show-Stopping

The Look:

Fitted through the bodice, waist, and hips, then flaring out just below the bum or upper thigh. Think curve-hugging confidence with a little drama.

Why Brides Love It:

• Accentuates your natural shape
• Adds a modern edge to lace, satin, or crepe
• Perfect for brides who want a little wow
• Looks amazing in photos from every angle

Best For Brides Who:

Want to feel sexy, confident, and totally bridal all at once. Fit and flare gowns are for the bride who isn’t afraid to show off her silhouette and make a statement walking down the aisle.

Coreena’s Tip:

The key to fit and flare is all in the tailoring, and we’ve got you covered with expert in-house alterations to ensure it fits like a dream.

Not Sure Which One’s Right?

That’s exactly what your appointment is for. Most brides fall in love with something they didn’t expect, and we’re really good at pulling that dress. The one that makes your mom tear up. The one that makes you stand taller. The one that just feels right.

And when you find it?

Say yes. Right then. Right there.

Because your dream dress is hanging right here at Coreena’s.

👗 Ready to Try Both?

Book your bridal appointment and we’ll pull the best of both worlds, from airy and romantic to sleek and sculpted. With your personal stylist, private suite, and our expert eye, you’ll find the one that was meant for you.

Your second yes is waiting and it fits like a glove.

When it comes to choosing your wedding dress, your venue sets the stage. Whether you’re walking through vineyard rows, saying “I do” under chandeliers, or dancing barefoot beneath the stars, your gown should feel like it belongs there.

So, How Do You Choose?

Think about your surroundings on the big day:

• Will you be outdoors or inside?
• Is your venue rustic, romantic, modern, or formal?
• How do you want to feel… airy and effortless? Regal and elegant? Somewhere in between?

Your dress should feel like an extension of your venue and of you. That’s what we’re here for.

At Coreena’s Bridal, we specialize in helping brides find a dress that not only flatters their figure but fits the vibe. With in-house alterations and off the rack options, we’re ready for any timeline and any venue. Come in with your inspo, we’ll help you bring it to life

At Coreena’s Bridal, we know that wedding dress shopping is more than just a task—it’s a journey. Every bride walks into our boutique with a unique vision, personality, and expectations. Some arrive with Pinterest boards full of inspiration, while others come in saying, “I’m just looking. This is my first shop. I won’t be buying today.” And yet, time and time again, we see the magic happen—the moment a bride finds her dress, even when she least expects it.

As bridal stylists, we are here to guide, support, and celebrate with our brides. But our job doesn’t stop at that first “yes.” From the initial appointment to the final fitting, we are with our brides through every step, including the often-overlooked but essential world of alterations.

The First Appointment: Expecting Nothing, Finding Everything

Many brides walk through our doors thinking they won’t find their gown on the first visit. We hear it all the time:

• “I just started looking.”
• “I need to go to a few more places.”
• “I don’t think I’ll find ‘the one’ today.”

And we completely understand! But here’s the thing—your dream dress doesn’t follow a timeline or wait for you to check every boutique off your list. It finds you when you least expect it.

That’s why our job isn’t just about pulling pretty gowns; it’s about understanding you. We listen to your vision, your style, your wedding dreams. Then, we hand-select dresses that match—not just what you think you want, but what might surprise you.

We love seeing the shift happen. A bride tries on a dress she never would have picked for herself. She stands in front of the mirror, her hands brushing over the lace or the way the fabric moves. She starts to smile, then tear up. And suddenly, she realizes—this is it.

So, even if you walk in telling yourself you won’t be buying today, we encourage you to stay open to the possibility that your dress is waiting for you here at Coreena’s Bridal.

The Alterations Journey: Trusting the Process

Once the dress is chosen, our job isn’t over. Every gown needs some level of customization to fit each bride like a dream. That’s where our in-house alterations team comes in.

But let’s be real—alterations aren’t the most glamorous part of the bridal journey. Unlike the excitement of saying “yes” to the dress, alterations require patience and trust. It’s not an exact science; it’s a craft. Each dress and bride present unique challenges, and there is no one-size-fits-all approach.

Some brides worry during their first fitting. The dress may feel too loose, too long, or not quite right. This is normal. Alterations happen in phases, and the final look doesn’t come together until the last fitting. Our team works carefully to sculpt the dress to each bride’s body, adjusting for comfort, movement, and that flawless silhouette.

Every alteration journey is different. Some brides need only simple hemming and strap adjustments. Others require significant restructuring, like bodice reshaping or adding custom elements. There are times when adjustments need to be tweaked again after the first or second fitting—it’s all part of the process.

We always reassure our brides: trust the process. The dress may not feel perfect at the first fitting, but by the final appointment, it will be transformed into the gown of your dreams.

From First Look to Final Fitting—We’re With You All the Way

At Coreena’s Bridal, being a bridal stylist is more than just styling—it’s about connection, care, and expertise. From the excitement of that first appointment to the precision of alterations, we are here to make sure every bride leaves feeling beautiful, confident, and ready to walk down the aisle.

So, whether you think you’re “just looking” or you’re ready to find the one, we’re here to show you that magic can happen when you least expect it. And when it does, we’ll be by your side every step of the way.

Brides of 2025, get ready—this year is all about making a statement. Whether you’re dreaming of a fairytale ballgown or a sleek, modern silhouette, wedding fashion is embracing bold details, timeless elegance, and a touch of the unexpected. At Coreena’s Bridal, we’ve been obsessing over the latest trends, and we can’t wait to share them with you. Here’s what’s stealing the spotlight in bridal fashion this year.  

Ballgowns are Back—And Bigger Than Ever

Calling all brides who love a little drama. The ballgown is making a grand return, and this time, it’s all about volume. Picture cascading layers of tulle, structured satin skirts, and stunning lace embellishments. Whether you go classic with a sleek, minimalist design or embrace the romance of intricate beading, this trend is all about making you feel like royalty.  

Sheer Magic: Illusion Details Are Taking Over  

A little peek-a-boo elegance never hurt anyone. Sheer elements are everywhere in 2025, from illusion lace bodices to ethereal sleeves and side cutouts. The beauty of this trend is that it creates a barely-there effect while keeping things ultra-chic. Whether it’s delicate floral appliqués on sheer tulle or a corset bodice with subtle boning, this look is effortlessly romantic.  

Bigger, Bolder Bows  

This isn’t your childhood hair bow—we’re talking about oversized, dramatic bridal bows that steal the show. Whether tied at the waist, draped across an open back, or cascading into a sweeping train, bows are adding a fresh, playful twist to bridal fashion. They’re sweet, they’re sophisticated, and they make for a seriously stunning photo moment.  

Convertible Looks for the Win  

Why choose one look when you can have two? Detachable sleeves, overskirts, and removable trains are giving brides the power to switch up their style from ceremony to reception. Go classic and elegant for the vows, then remove the sleeves or add a high-slit overskirt to bring out your party-ready side. It’s the perfect way to keep things fresh while staying true to your personal style.  

Texture is Everything  

2025 is all about gowns that feel as good as they look. Think dimensional lace, delicate beading, feather-light ruffles, and 3D floral appliqués that add a whimsical, romantic feel. Dresses with rich, textured fabrics create movement and depth, making every twirl (and every photo) even more stunning. If you want a gown that stands out in the most enchanting way, this trend is for you.  

Vintage-Inspired Sleeves That Wow  

If you’re a bride who loves a touch of vintage charm, you’re in luck. Statement sleeves are taking over, from dramatic bishop sleeves to puffed shoulders and delicate lace cuffs. These details bring a regal, old-Hollywood feel to any gown while adding a fresh, modern twist. And the best part? Sleeves are often detachable, so you can switch up your look throughout the night.  

The Power of Luxe Minimalism  

For the brides who believe less is more, minimalist gowns are having a major moment. Smooth satin, tailored crepe, and structured mikado silk create a stunning silhouette that’s both effortless and powerful. With clean lines and impeccable craftsmanship, these dresses prove that simplicity can be just as breathtaking as embellishment.  

No matter which trend speaks to you, we’re here to help you find the gown that makes you feel like the most beautiful version of yourself. Our collection features the latest 2025 styles, hand-picked for brides who want a dress that’s just as unforgettable as their love story.  

Book your appointment today, and let’s bring your bridal vision to life!  

At Coreena’s Bridal, we believe your dress journey should be as magical as the day itself. Knowing the terms behind all those dazzling options can make finding the one a breeze and fun. Let’s break down these essential bridal buzzwords so you can shop like a pro. 

Ballgown: Dreaming of a Cinderella moment? Ballgowns are the ultimate in drama with a fitted bodice and a voluminous, floor-sweeping skirt. Whether you’re walking down the aisle of a cathedral or dancing under the stars, this classic style makes you feel like royalty. Bonus: it’s great for twirling photos. 

A-line: If you’re looking for elegance without the princess poof, A-line dresses are your best friend. With a skirt that gently flares from the waist, this universally flattering style offers just the right mix of structure and flow. Think timeless romance that works for any venue.

Fitted Styles: Sheath features clean lines and an effortless chic design that hugs your frame, creating a minimalist, modern vibe that lets your natural beauty shine. Perfect for garden parties or beach weddings. Mermaid is for the bold bride who loves her curves. This silhouette clings to your body down to the knees, then flares out for a dramatic effect. Trumpet is similar to the mermaid but with a softer flare at the thighs, giving you freedom to move while still showing off your figure.

Fit to Flare: Think of this as the Goldilocks of wedding dresses. It hugs your curves through the bodice and hips, then releases into a soft, flattering flare below. It’s a great compromise for brides torn between fitted and flowy.

Illusion Bodice: The illusion comes from sheer fabrics adorned with intricate lace, beading, or embroidery. It creates a look that’s subtly sexy yet elegant, as if the embellishments are floating on your skin. Ideal for brides who want a touch of magic.

Lined Bodice: For brides preferring a polished, modest vibe, the lined bodice offers full coverage without sacrificing style. Often paired with luxurious fabrics like satin or lace, it gives a structured, regal feel that’s perfect for classic ceremonies.

Exposed Boning: This edgy trend highlights the inner structure of your dress, with visible corset boning on the bodice. It’s a nod to vintage fashion but with a modern twist, offering both support and a chic aesthetic that’s bold yet feminine.

Train: Your train adds that extra wow factor as you glide down the aisle. Options include sweep, which is just a whisper of a train that barely brushes the floor, chapel for a grand look without being overwhelming, and cathedral for ultimate regal vibes.

Veil Lengths: A veil is more than an accessory. Fingertip veils are elegant and versatile, reaching just to your hands. Knee-length veils add a playful yet sophisticated touch. Waltz veils flow gracefully between your knees and ankles, while cathedral veils are long and striking, pairing beautifully with bold gowns.

Appliqué: These decorative details can transform a gown from pretty to breathtaking. Beaded appliqués add sparkle and glamour, lace brings texture and timeless romance, and 3D designs create artistic, blooming florals that stand out for fashion-forward brides.

Off-the-Shoulder: Straps lightly resting on your upper arm frame your neckline beautifully while adding a modern, romantic flair. Sleeves offer a vintage-inspired twist that brings sophistication and are perfect for cooler seasons.

Petticoat: Ever wonder how those ballgowns stay so full and floaty? Enter the petticoat. This fluffy underskirt adds volume to your dress, helping you achieve that fairytale silhouette. Bonus: they make spinning even more fun.

Ready to bring these terms to life? At Coreena’s Bridal, we’re here to help you find your dream dress with plenty of style, smiles, and sparkle. Book your appointment today and let’s create your bridal magic.  

Okay, so you’re dreaming of a magical winter wonderland wedding, and we are ALL about it. Picture this: snow gently falling outside, cozy vibes inside, and you, the bride, looking like an absolute snow queen in the gown of your dreams. Sounds amazing, right? Well, we’ve got all the details you need to create a winter wedding that’s equal parts chic and cozy, starting with the perfect wedding dress and accessories to complete your frosty fairytale. Let’s dive into how to make it all happen!

Choosing the Perfect Bridal Gown for Your Winter Wonderland Wedding

Winter weddings are all about elegance, sparkle, and yes, staying warm while you strut your stuff. You want a dress that’s breathtaking, but also functional enough for colder temps—because, let’s face it, you don’t want to freeze your toes off on your wedding day! So, here’s how to nail the perfect winter bridal look.

Long Sleeves & High Necklines: Stay Cozy & Chic

Let’s talk about the long-sleeve moment—every winter bride’s BFF. Whether you’re going for dreamy lace sleeves or magical tulle, long sleeves give you that warmth you need while looking absolutely gorgeous. If you love the idea of showing off a little skin but don’t want to freeze, think high necklines. 

We’re talking sweetheart or v-neck gowns with sleeves, or maybe a soft off-the-shoulder look. These give you that winter elegance and keep you cozy in those chilly temps.

Full Skirts & Ball Gowns: Hello, Drama

If you’ve ever wanted to feel like a total princess (I mean, who hasn’t?), a full skirt or ball gown is definitely the way to go. These gowns bring all the drama and grandeur you’ll need to truly live out that winter fairytale vibe. Think about the vision of you walking through a snow-covered forest or taking pics by a twinkling fireplace in a gown with layers of tulle or mikado. Major snow princess vibes? Yes, please.

Add Sparkle: Bring on the Twinkle

Winter is literally the season of sparkle, so why not add a little (or a lot) to your bridal look? Subtle beadwork, sequins, or crystals can catch the light and create a gorgeous, ethereal effect. Whether you’re rocking a beaded bodice or a crystal-embellished belt, you’ll have that perfect winter glow.

Bridal Accessories That Will Take Your Look to the Next Level

Now, let’s talk about all the little details that will really make you shine on your wedding day. Winter bridal accessories are all about keeping you warm without sacrificing style—because you can totally have both!

Bridal Jackets, Boleros & Capes: Warmth Meets Style

If you’re planning on doing a lot of outdoor photos (hello, snow-covered moments!), a bridal jacket or bolero is a must. A lace bolero or fur stole will give you that extra warmth while keeping things chic. If you want to go for full-on drama, a satin bridal cape or a fur-lined shawl will make you feel like a winter queen (seriously, who wouldn’t love that vibe?).

Veils: Snowy, Romantic & All Things Beautiful

A veil will never go out of style, and for a winter wedding, it’s even more magical. Think lace trim or sparkly accents that catch the light—like a little bit of winter magic following you down the aisle. If you’re feeling extra, go for a cathedral veil to really bring the drama, or a short veil for a more modern, chic vibe.

Statement Jewelry: Sparkle Like Snowflakes

Winter is all about glimmering beauty, so let’s get your jewelry to shine. Think diamonds, pearls, and crystals—all the things that reflect the winter light and make you sparkle like you’re walking through a snowy dream. Statement earrings or a sparkling necklace can add a glamorous touch, while delicate silver or rose gold pieces complement the cooler tones of the season. Don’t forget to finish it off with a crystal hairpin or bejeweled headband to add a little extra glimmer.

Footwear: Stylish & Practical

Let’s face it—your wedding shoes need to be cute AND practical. Especially for winter, consider closed-toe shoes or ankle boots that will keep you warm but still look fab. Bonus points if they have a bit of sparkle or detailing, like crystal-embellished heels or satin ballet flats. Want something even cozier? Some brides even opt for faux fur booties or knee-high boots under their dresses. You can stay comfy and still look totally bridal—what’s not to love?

Winter Wedding Hair & Makeup

Your hair and makeup are everything, and winter is the perfect time to get a little extra glam. For makeup, think smoky eyes, frosted lips, and maybe a little highlight that mimics the glow of winter’s natural light. For your hair, think elegant updos or loose, romantic waves. Add a crystal hairpiece or winter-inspired hairpins, and you’ll be feeling like an absolute goddess.

Final Tips for Your Winter Wonderland Wedding Look

Plan for Comfort: You want to look amazing, but make sure you’re also warm! Layer up and make sure you have what you need to stay comfortable during your ceremony and photos.

Colors & Theme: Winter weddings are made for rich, deep tones like emerald green, burgundy, or navy. These colors can totally pop in your bouquet, decor, and even your accessories.

Personal Touches: Get creative with winter details like snowflake brooches, faux fur wraps, or holiday accents. The little touches will make your day feel even more magical.

Your winter wonderland wedding is going to be epic. From the bridal gown of your dreams to the accessories that add that perfect sparkle, this is your chance to embrace the beauty of the season and create a look that’s uniquely yours. At Coreena’s Bridal, we’re here to help you find that perfect gown (and all the accessories!) to make your wedding day unforgettable. Are you ready to say your “second yes” to the dress?

As the leaves turn and the air gets crisp, many couples begin planning their fall weddings. While traditional white gowns have long been the standard, a growing number of brides are choosing to break the mold with non-traditional wedding dresses that reflect their unique personalities and styles. Black wedding dresses have gained popularity as a chic and sophisticated choice for modern brides. Far from the traditional connotations, a black gown can exude elegance, mystery, and confidence. This Halloween season, why not consider a striking black dress?

Why Choose a Black Dress?

A Statement of Individuality: A black wedding dress is a powerful declaration of individuality. It reflects a bride’s unique personality and style, allowing her to break free from conventional norms.

Timeless Elegance: Black is synonymous with sophistication. A black wedding dress can evoke a sense of elegance that transcends trends, ensuring you’ll look stunning both in person and in photos.

Versatility in Styling: Black allows for a wide range of accessorizing options. Pair it with bold metallics for a modern edge or rich jewel tones for a romantic touch.

Flattering for All Body Types: Black has a universally flattering effect, helping you feel confident and beautiful on your special day.

Embracing the Gothic Aesthetic: For brides drawn to gothic or alternative aesthetics, a black wedding dress aligns perfectly with this vision, especially for fall or Halloween-themed weddings.

A Unique Wedding Theme: Choosing a black dress can set the tone for a distinctive wedding, creating a cohesive and memorable experience.

Redefining Tradition: Wearing a black wedding dress challenges traditional notions of bridal attire and celebrates diversity in wedding aesthetics.

Halloween Inspiration

During Halloween season, the allure of unconventional wedding themes becomes even more enticing. Imagine a wedding that incorporates the spirit of the season with non-traditional colors and motifs. Think moody decor with dark florals, mystical lighting, and a cake that reflects your unique color palette. Your choice of a non-traditional dress can harmonize beautifully with this theme, creating an enchanting atmosphere that’s both romantic and a little spooky.

Choosing a non-traditional wedding dress is not just about color; it’s a reflection of your personality and style as a couple. ‘Spooky season’ is your chance to embrace the opportunity to express your individuality through your attire. Whether you’re drawn to the elegance of black, the passion of red, or the tranquility of blue, your wedding dress can be a powerful statement of your love story. Step away from the conventional and make a bold choice that you’ll remember forever. After all, your wedding day should be as unique as you are!
